DYNAMITER GUILTY.
The Fate of a Nebraska Train
Wrecker Settled.
How They Punish this Fearful
COld-blOOded Crime i'm
NeighbOring State.

Nebraska City, Neb., April 1.-THE de-
tense in the train wreckers' trial opened
their side of the case Saturday morning.
Very little interest was taken in the trial.
The attorneys for the defense looked de-
jected and hopeless. A motion to compel
the district attorney to elect on whick
count of the indictment he would proceed
was overruled, and the defense began tie
Introduction OF testimony, which was snort
and unimport- mt, mainly to prove the
good character OF the defendant.
They rested their case about
10 o'clock and arguments were begun BY
the district attorney. He was followed BY
the attorney for the defense, while Il. P.
Waggoner, the Missouri Pacific attorney,
closed with an able address, the effect of
which was evident upon the jury and spec
tators. The case WIS given to the jury at
4 o'clock, and in less than an hour they
had agreed on a verdict of mur-
der in the first degree.
Hoffman did not finch when the verdict
was announced, but after bidding his folks
goodbye he was taken to his cell. Then
he broke down completely and cried like
child.
The verdict was received with general
satisfaction by all and was considered just,
though the confession made by Hoffman
was just the opposite to the one made by

A Startling Story of Theft, Iu-
vOlving One Million Dol
lars or More.

Pittsburg, Pa, April ia great sensa-
! ton has been caused by the discovery and
breaking up OF the most dangerous gang
of railroad thieves in the country. Nearly
all those connected with the gang are em-
plOyes OF the freight service of the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and ST. Louis Pan Ham
dle) railroad, and comprise engineers,
conductors, tiremeh, brakemen and numer
Gus trainmen. The existence Of the gang
was discovered last summer, and the de-
tectives have been following up the clews
They succeeded in securing all the evil
dence necessary to gather in the gang and
close in on them last Thursday.
Friday and Saturday warrants were Sc
cured, about so in number, and shortly
after midnight the work of making arrests
was begun.
Up to o'clock this morning nearly If
ty Of the gang were arrested all along the
line between here and Columbus, Ohio.
There are abont forty charges against one
man named Baker In addition to the
charge of robbery, there is one of murder
against Baker who, it is alleged about two
months ago, shot and killed farmer at
Sheridan, near here, while the train men
were resisting an attack on freight made
by gang of thieves led By Baker
The membership of the gang is estt-
mated at several hundred and its opera
tons cover a period of nearly four
years. Who the leaders are is not vet
known, or at least. has not been de-
vulged but they are believed to be
professional thieves not in the employ
of the railway. The value oil the goods
stolen from freight cars by the gang is
placed at nearly one million dollars.
More arrests are TO be made to-day
and startling developments may be
expected.

AS the time for the election of a
county'superintendent of public schools
approaches the names of several gen.
tlemen who would be eminently fit TO
gil that position suggest themselves
to the minds of the people. A writer
from Centre Hall to the Daily Neecs
recommends Rev. Chas. Steck, of
Bellefonte, but is not sure if that gen.
tleman would accept the nomination.
Be that as it may, we are certain that
Rev. Steck would make as efficient a
superintendent as he is a preacher.
Again, the voters should make it a
point to put man there who will
handle the functions of this important
Office as ably as the present superin-
tendent has done.

The apportionment of the state into
congressional districts will be among
the most important work of the
new legislature and as to the probable
shape in which the apportionment bill
may be expected to come before the
senate the following article from the
Patriot will throw some light on the
subject. It remarks that Senator
James s. Rntan is said to be the COM
ing chairman of the senate committee
on apportionment The senator oc-
cupied the same position when the
present apportionment was made In
1874 and though he has been for
some years absent from the legisla-
ture it may be said that he is familiar
with the work which will devolve on
him as chairman of that committee.
He has had wide experience both
in politics and legislation, and though
q partisan of the strictest sect, te is
not innately an unfair man.
But politics is politics and Senator
Rutan is a leader in the republican
party. The party will no doubt insist
On the enactment OF partisan appor-
tionment bill, and Senator Rutan will
be both able and willing to help his
party in its aspirations on that point.
1t may reasonably be assumed there
fore that the party demand for a ger
rymander will not be discouraged by
the chairman Of the committee on ap.
portionment, but no doubt will be
promoted by him in every particular.
He is not man to falter when party
interests are involved.
But the Constitution rather than
party interest should be the guide of
the chairman OF the committee on ap-
portionment in framing bill to divide
the state into congressional districts. |
The chairman was among the first
and most emphatic to insist that the
organic law should be respected in the
formation of the governors cabinet.
What reasons are there that bind the
governor-elect to support this instru-
ment that do not apply with equal
force to the senator's and members of
the Legislature ? 1t is to be hoped
that Chairman Rutan will carefully
consider this subject when he goes
about making an apportionment bill.

Drowned Off Virginia Coast.
Not One of the twenty-five Men on
Board was Saved bodies
Recovered

NORFOLK, va, Jan. 10-Later par
ticulars from the wreck Of the Gesman
ship Elizabeth, which went ashore on
Virginia Beach fourteen miles south of
Cape Henry, put the number of the
crew at twenty-five instead of fifteen,
not a man Of whom was sayed. This
fact is learned from the two men Of the
life-Saying crew who survive, and who
haye recovered consciousness. The
bodies Of the five men of the life-Saving
crew and four Of the ships crew which
were recovered yesterday were in life
preservers and three more OF the ships
crew without life preseryers were pick
ed uD lower down the coast this morn
ing. A body which has been indenti-
fed rs thgt Of the captain IS among
those recovered. 0n his person was a

stadt. and letters add essed tG Henry
Kaulkman and Several'b bills from Joseph

tendent Poyner Of the life saving ser
vice will board her to-day if possible.
AS reported last night. nos . word
was spoken between lllc sup crew ana
the life saying men when they boarded
her in their desperate attempt at res
cue, and the cause OF tbs wreck can
never be positively known, although it
iG supposed that III attempting to make
the capes cf Virginia under reefed sails,
sufficient allowance was not made for
the strong currents Which have caused
several disastrous wrecks along the
lower Virginia and North Carolina
coasts duling the last few years.

No doubt General BeaYer feels reliev-

cate stage, for the new governor had

the same time the republican polite
ians objected to the appointment on
constitutional grounds. Taking it in
all Gov. Beaver will have hard time
of it till he gets the different Offices
filled to the satisfaction of all the hum

One of the most noteworthy indica-

cora him lhC same facilities before the

committee of which hc was chairman,
gith McAdoo, of New Jerseg, and
Warner. Of Ohio, as colleagues, author
lied TO prepare a BIZ! embodying the
protection Democratic position on re-
ducing the surplus. Speaker Carlisle
proposed a compromise measure, taking
of a little in internal taxes and some
thing in duties like sugar and adding
salt, lumber and fish 10 the free list.
Mr.. Randall preferred to consult his
friends before agreeing to any fixed plan
of operations 1t was understood how
ever, that they would see each other
again when matters were in a more de-
finite shape.
